Conversation Between dicreamio and Phokaioglaukos

I also think you'd get pretty fed up of driving a LHD car on a RHD road too as it would be awkward doing over taking and at toll booths etc

I would in fairness sell your car over there and buy over here or buy a car in the UK (Where the market is much better and the price is cheaper- plus a car in the UK would be spot on for Ireland without any changes to be made. Yes you would have to pay vrt but... you'd have to do that + shipping + mods.

Here's a good site for buying cars in Ireland
http://www.carzone.ie/

Here's one for the UK (You'll see the market is much bigger there and cheaper too)
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/

Go get a belfast postcode for anything in the north which is just a short spin across the border and saves a boat ride. Use my old place's post code in mainland uk to get you going it's LU1 1UE
A hell of a lot of drivers are going to the UK these days for cars I really think it's your best bet. Drop me mail on dicreamio@hotmail.com if you've any more queries.

Cheers

Hey,

Sorry Chris only seeing your message now This website should help

Porsche club Ireland are very active over here and they have lots going on, membership also gives you a 10% parts discount too which has helped me a heap.

I am relocating from the US to Dublin and I could use some advice about Porsches in Ireland. Might you offer some, or put me in touch with others who might do?

In particular, I am considering whether to bring my US-spec, LHD Cayman GT4. I expect that there is not much to do to the car to make it roadworthy in Ireland, and I understand that no VAT would be payable upon import because I have owned the car since November 2016, but could it be that the CO2 emission of the GT4 of 238 g/km would attract an annual road tax of €2,350?

Some have advised me to sell my US-spec cars and buy in Ireland. There are some cars that are sold in Ireland that are not sold in the US, and perhaps the GT4 is not really suitable to the Irish roads? Please give me your advice.

With best regards,

Chris
